I just love this time of year! It's full of so many opportunities for great food! Since we've started homeschooling, I've been giving the ol' slow cooker a pretty good workout. This recipe came to me earlier this week, and it turned out so good I wanted to share it with you all!!

I have always wanted to make apple butter. I had it once at a restaurant, and it tasted so good on a warm biscuit I knew I had to make it for my family. So, after going to the apple orchard, the second thing on my list to make was some homemade apple butter.

I love the Five
Little Pumpkin poem or song, and look forward to singing it every Halloween
with them. It is something that I have sung to them since they were babies. I
have wonderful memories of them sitting on the floor giggling at me with those
adorable little baby laughs as I sang it to them! So, this year it was one of
our favorite activities to do and brought back many memories.

I am often asked
where people can find specific patterns, and see many people posting asking for
patterns. So, I wanted to share three great places where people can find
patterns both free and paid. Also, all three Ravelry, Craftsy, and Pinterest
offer the options to save the patterns that you love, so you will be able to
easily find them again in the future!

The other evening I came across a post on Instagram from GipsonWands of these delicious pancakes. So, of course I asked for the recipe, and was pleasantly surprised when he directed me here. I also asked if I could share this on my blog and he agreed!

This week we have
been focusing on Christopher Columbus!! To refresh my memory on Columbus I
watched a wonderful documentary on Hulu titled Biography ChristopherColumbus: Explorer of the New World! It was full of information that I
had forgotten over time, as well as some knew information that I found
interesting! I highly recommend it!

Every artist has their favorite tools, right? No matter what you make or design you have your favorite brand, style, or material. This is a collection of my three most favorite tools, and each picture links to that item on Amazon (if you'd like one of your very own). ;-)

My family and I went
to the apple orchard this year to pick apples!! It was the first time my hubby
and I had gone in a long time, and it was our first time taking our two little
ones. We had such a wonderful time and the views were just amazing.

My hope as we go through our homeschooling journey is that I will be able to share at least one activity with you all each week. So, as we have begun our
journey through preschool we have been focusing on a very broad unit titled All
About Me. We have been covering small topics such as what makes us unique and
special, body parts, our 5 senses, and important information such as phone number,
address, and birthday.

Hello, and welcome to my blog!! My name is Britteny. I am a wife to an amazing husband and a stay at home mom to two beautiful children. I taught myself to crochet whilst pregnant for my daughter. However, I intend for this blog to focus on not only crochet, but also my life as a stay at home mom, and homeschooling my children (a decision I made due to my local school system - and my elementary education degree). I hope you like it, and feel free to comment!
